Medication and pregnancy?

There’s a possibility I will become pregnant, but will not find out until around Nov. 19th.
I suffer from Anxiety / Depression along w/ acne. I was going to start Fluoxetine [Prozac] for Anxiety / Depression and Cefadroxil [Duricef] for acne as soon as possible, to start feeling better.
If I start the medications now, will I lessen the chance of getting pregnant? Or if I’m pregnant, the medications will cause me to possibly miscarry?
I would just like some opinions. Thanks so much! ;]

I was on Zoloft for Anxiety when I found out I was pregnant. Its not recommended to stay on these types of drugs, more so because there hasn’t been much study on pregnant women taking them. I was happy enough to wean off them over 2 weeks & stop completely but if your doc thinks you should stay on them they may recommend a lower dosage or something like that. Your best bet is to speak with your doc about it. Best wishes & good luck!
If you are pregnant or think that you might be, it’s best not to take any sort of medication at all. I would try talking to your doctor just to be on the safe side.
You can take them now, the problem is you would probably need to stop if you found out you were pregnant. If you are ttc I would wait until you know for sure, just to not take any chances.
I was on medication for anxiety and was informed by my doctor to stop as soon as I found out I was pregnant.
i was on paxil b4 i got pregnant and had to stop it when i got pregnant cause that the worse drug to be on. i had to get on zoloft and now on celexa and im 26 weeks pregnant. i too have Anxiety so i need to be on something. talk to your dr he will tell which ones are safe. theres a few out there safe to take when pregnant
Hey, definitely check out with your doctor who is prescribing the anxiety medicine and let him/her know you are trying to conceive. You should clear this with your doctor before trying if possible. Some anxiety meds are not so good for pregnancy so definitely get it checked out by a professional.
